The piece seen, upon exiting —- white reflective skeins of strapping pulled into a vortex serveas the base material in this video. Loosely draped and drawing into a center point, the strapping hoists Redondo recumbent or otherwise prone. The artist inches towards an unseen and unheard center: a black hole in space, a wellengineered intake manifold or a faux cooperation with William Gibson’s jack-in location of cyberspace. As a grey fog curls in the center, Redondo pulls herself deeper into this midst.
Redondo states her call against motionlessness, and against gravity. During the video looping, she is there and then back again in a continuous present.

“Carolina Redondo’s works are always relating to their surrounding architecture. “Zona Abisal”, shown before in a passage situation at the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn, now opens up the view into a funnel-shaped vortex on the ceiling of Fuhrwerkswaage. The observer seems to be pulled into this optical vortex, where the artist moves up and down. The video loop enhances the illusion of menacing infinity and a claustrophobic abyss at the same time.”
